mastered from the original studio tapes with full cooperation from the man himself, this first-ever compilation comprises largely unheard recordings, extensive liner notes, rare personal photographs & memorabilia from one of Turkish Pop & Rock’s best kept secrets.

Featuring a selection of his experimental pop & rock recordings dating from 1968, it features both of the highly sought after 1 Numara singles – including a never before heard extended version of ‘Evren’ – as well as previously unheard archive material & songs recorded for & broadcast exclusively on TRT 1 – most of them never to be repeated. The missing component in the history of Turkish pop & one of the earliest exponents of Turkish electronic music electrified the rock & roll scene of the late 50s/early 60s – sending teenagers wild with his custom built guitars & back lines – helping charge the climate for the birth of Anatolian rock.
